This man’s brother refuted his beliefs in a treatise entitled “divine thunderbolts” (10[1])and accused him of creating a sixth pillar of Islam.

In the 18th century, the veneration of walis and their tombs was condemned as being shirk by this man, (10[2])who leveled the shrine of Zayd ibn al-Khattab and promoted monotheism in his Book of Tawhid (“tao-HEED”).
